Trump Hit With New Lawsuit

Foreign nationals caught violating U.S. visa laws now face deportation—and the ACLU is fighting back. But at what cost to American safety?

Trump’s America-First Immigration Policy Under Fire from Liberal Activists

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has launched a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration, claiming the recent revocation of legal status for foreign students is unlawful. The move comes as part of Trump’s broader immigration reform initiative focused on protecting national security and enforcing visa laws.

According to the ACLU, the government’s actions could lead to deportation, financial hardship, and academic disruption for hundreds of international students. But critics argue: should foreign students who break the rules be allowed to stay?

Over 1,100 Foreign Students Lose Visas Under Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

A recent sweep targeting student visa violations has affected more than 1,100 international students across 170 colleges and universities in the U.S. Many had ties to anti-American demonstrations, while others had criminal records.

Officials say the revocations are not only legal—but necessary.

“We revoke visas every day to protect our borders and ensure public safety,” said State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce.

DHS: Student Visas Are a Privilege, Not a Right

In response to the ACLU’s lawsuit, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin defended the Trump administration’s actions, stating:

“The ACLU appears more interested in defending foreign nationals than standing up for the civil liberties of American citizens. When individuals promote violence or support terrorism, they don’t belong in this country.”

McLaughlin emphasized that visas are a privilege—not a guaranteed right.

Students Linked to Anti-Israel Protests, Criminal Activity

Many of the foreign nationals impacted were involved in on-campus protests against America’s ally, Israel, amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Others were found to have prior criminal histories, which prompted immediate visa revocation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that over 300 student visas were terminated in recent weeks, and that the number is “climbing daily.”

Is the ACLU Putting American Safety at Risk?

With lawsuits filed in Wisconsin, Montana, and New Hampshire, some liberal-leaning judges have issued temporary restraining orders to halt deportations. But the larger question remains:

Should foreign nationals who break the rules—or protest against American allies—be allowed to remain in the U.S.?

For millions of Americans, especially those over 50 who remember a stronger, safer nation, the answer is clear: We must defend our borders and prioritize our own citizens first.
